Jammu, Nov 03 (KNS): CPI (M) Regional Secretary, Jammu Sham Prasad Kesar on Wednesday asked the government why it is not taking action against BJP leader and former MLC Vikram Randhawa under stringent laws for his hate speech and call for violence against Kashmiris?

In a statement issued to KNS, Prasad said that even after exhorting his supporters to beat up Kashmiris and skin them alive which is an open call to violence, he has not been even arrested so far while some students who had reportedly cheered for Pakistan over cricket match victory have been charged with sedition and put behind bars.

“It is imperative upon the authorities to take action against Randhawa as per the law so that such incidents of spreading hatred can be stopped,” he said. (KNS)
